Man who crashed into Melbourne casino confused after ‘drinking petrol’

A man who crashed into three banks before driving his car through the doors of the Crown Casino claims he was looking for water after accidentally drinking petrol.

Chen Jie Xu, 34, was arrested following the bizarre rampage that took place last June, in which he deliberately drove his SUV down footpaths in Melbourne’s CBD.

Pedestrians ran to avoid the car as he drove it down Swanston St, before intentionally crashing into the front of the ANZ, Commonwealth and Westpac banks.

Security footage shows Xu allowing a cleaner to exit the Crown Casino before smashing through the glass and driving into the foyer.

Court documents state that he told police he accidentally drank petrol from a bottle in his car and became confused while trying to find a bathroom to drink water.

The ABC reported that he also admitted to taking cocaine earlier in the night.

“How could someone, he’s drunk petrol and on cocaine, navigate himself to the Crown Casino car park?” Magistrate John Bentley asked during the sentencing.

“He was intent on a destructive path.”

The East Burwood man was sentenced to 13 months in jail after pleading guilty to reckless conduct endangering serious injury, possessing a controlled weapon without lawful excuse and damaging the glass doors.

A skydiving Santa made a memorable entrance after crashing into a tree while descending from the sky to deliver presents to children attending a charity event in Florida.

George Krokus was dressed as Santa Claus during a skydive on Saturday to deliver toys to the Tampa Bay Beach Bums Operation Santa Charity Volleyball Tournament, but things turned awry when he lost control of his parachute, slammed into a tree and broke his leg during a crash landing.

He was rushed to hospital where he has since undergone surgery on this broken tibia and fibula and is expected to make a full recovery, according to Bay News 9.

Madison Spiers, a 9-year-old girl who was at the event, later found a note from her “elf”, Kristoff, that Krokus was meant to be delivering.

“As we were about to land this big tree jumped right out in front of us,” the note read.

“Don’t worry though … now G [Krokus] and I are resting in this hotel that they keep calling a ‘hospital!’ G has reservations for a few more days, going to hang out with him so he doesn’t feel lonely.”

A dead sperm whale has washed up on a popular tourist beach in Western Australia, leaving authorities with the massive task of removing it.

The carcass was initially spotted last week when it became caught in a reef offshore from Hopetoun, 574km southeast of Perth, on Sunday afternoon and by Monday the whale had been washed onto the beach.

The town is a popular tourist destination, especially over the Christmas period, raising concerns that the carcass might attract sharks and pose a risk to swimmers.

“Obviously a rotting carcass, with the lovely aroma it gives off, plus the leaching of the waste into the water and the ground didn’t make for a good environment,” Shire of Ravensthorpe chief executive Ian Fitzgerald told ABC.

“Plus the attraction of sharks to the area does not help. It’s a popular swimming area, not that far from Hopetoun itself.”

Workers have used a digger and bulldozer to roll the whale onto a tarp and cargo net so it can be removed from the beach.

On Saturday, Angelica Selena Martinez, a 21-year-old from Miami, claimed that a local McDonald’s branch fired her 19-year-old brother, Alex, who has autism, for his “shaky” hands.

“My brother was fired from McDonald’s [solely] based off discrimination,” Angelica wrote on Twitter, which has since gotten more than 79,000 retweets.

Alex says that the fast food chain was aware of his condition before he was hired and that this was his first job.

“[The hiring manager] told me to come back Tuesday to start training,” Alex tells BuzzFeed News. “On the fourth day, they sent me home early and said, ‘Don’t worry you’re not fired.’ ”

But the day before he was supposed to return to work, Alex’s grandma told him that he was let go. (The branch reached out to her, rather than to Alex directly.) Alex’s social worker tried to meet with a McDonald’s supervisor, but they were unavailable and would not answer phone calls.

“I did nothing wrong — I was always careful while handling change, my registers always had the right money,” The New York Post reported Alex saying.

“I don’t like that they didn’t tell me personally. I feel like they weren’t treating me like a normal human being and made me feel like I was inadequate and worthless. I still haven’t gotten paid for the time I worked and they still haven’t told me when I will get paid. I just don’t understand.”
